It is... snowing!

Brrrrrrrr!

Looking out at the snow this morning while the coffee was brewing, I caught sight of some birds and felt a little sorry for them. To have been driven by one's biological imperative to return to these climes, only to be pelted with flakes of frozen water and have that white stuff cover most available food! How unfair! It seemed to me I could almost feel the sharp crackle of avian frustration in the air.

As it turns out, once I invoice the item due tomorrow, I shall have made my "nut" for the month, with qualifications. First, I haven't changed the figure associated with the "nut" in years, and there are Parties - oops, I must be translating too much legal stuff lately, but I digress... - who feel that the number ought to be upgraded appropriately. Second, a chunk of what I invoiced was subcontracted, and the amount owed should not really count toward my goal, nie? (I can argue it both ways.)

In the end, however, it's all reduces to a tale told by an idiot, etc. At least I had work to invoice!

I need to get out of this house. I need to go to the bank, too.

Cheers...

I *need* to talk to you about 'ideas for French-speaking' too. Will try to call you or mail you in the next couple of days.

Hugs, and keep smiling?

Can you get Chris to fire up the Skype? It's been working pretty well for me lately. If it's not too late for you, give me a holler.

Cheers...
